I have just been reading Jude's thread about "The Voice", we don't normally watch it, but just caught the end of Saturdays show. It has just set me thinking!!!

How come some people have beautiful tuneful voices and others ( like myself) sound like a brick being shaken in a can. :-D :-D :-D

Paula. You will be able to sing along with Bonny Tyler when she sings our Eurovision entry. Two bricks shaken in a can might be a best-selling duet. :-D

Paula, I would love to sound like a brick being shaken in a can but i sound like a cat being tortured with a red hot poker so Ive had my bathroom sound proofed at the OH's request to save our marriage.

Roy :-D

Roy. I heard you singing once when you were in a lorry behind me. I thought you were constantly blowing your horn :-D ;-)

Not me John, I only sing in the shower now and my company banned me from singing in my lorry because it was costing to much in replacement windscreens

I'm not a fan of programmes like The Voice

Roy

:-D :-D :-D @ Roy

Never watched The Voice. But then I have never watched X Factor, Dancing on Ice, Stricly Come Something, Britain's Got Something Else.

Am I missing something? Am I depraved>

Edit. Am I deprived?

Neither John (deprived or depraved). But how can you know if you'd like something or not if you have never watched it?

I think it could be in the genes you know like The Jacksons all could sing or you love to sing from such an early age you just train your own voice like we all train ourselves to different voices remember we all have telephone voices or I demand to speak to the manager voice ;-)

And a "you look very beautiful tonight" voice. I would like to sound like Leslie Phillips, but it comes out as a sort of cross between Jasper Carrott and Stan Stennett :-(

Yes Hayley "Tugging Forelock in defference" Royalty does seem to have a very strange effect on Managers.Especially in Supermarkets.

Must have been the X Type 4 wheel drive reving up on the wrong thread. :-)

It is said that we can all sing with training......why not join a choir and test yourself :))

We are all born capable of singing but we need to get encouragement. How many people have been told they sound like a frog and then grow up thinking they can't sing? In my home (well we had no tv!) we all sang and were encouraged and applauded whether we were great or not! :-D

At my great old age, I joined a Singing Group a few years ago and my voice has definitely become stronger. Why, I was on the point of singing to the anaesthetist at the hospital last week, when he put me under in the nick of time! lol It is merely a muscle which needs to be used :-D

So, throw your shoulders back, take a deep breath....and SING!! :-D :-D :-D

And if you had a big family and no lock on the outside privy, you soon learned to throw your shoulders back and ....SING :-D :-D

I love to sing and always have BUT I have thyroid trouble and what I 'hear' in my head is not the sound that comes out of my mouth :-(

Viv I love singing it's the people around me that seem to have the problem. ;-)
